Our house is falling.

Water was leaking through the A/C vent in our kitchen ceiling.
The repair guy had me turn the tempurature down to 75 degrees. Instead of a drip it became a waterfall. I guess we're lucky that we have the A/C set at 80 degrees.
Yes, we found the problem. Some electrician put two holes in the PVC pipe that drains the water from the A/C and decided to not tell anyone. Way to go.
The repair man fixed it. Did he make a big enough hole in the bedroom wall? It is about 3 feet high and 1 foot wide. My warranty had expired so I had to pay the 192 dollars to get it fixed. We have no idea why it did not leak before this. We have been in the house for two years. I am having my builder come fix the ceiling, wall, and hopefully pay the bill since it happened before we bought the house. He is coming out today, so we will see what he says.
Our hole was as big as a quarter. Then you can see the drill bit size hole below it.

Just being cute.

Zack was giving the frog hugs. Of course he refused to do it for the camera.

Darwin loves Zack.

Our friend's dog Darwin loves Zack. We are not sure how Zack feels. When Darwin kisses him, he will push him away. Then as soon as Darwin goes somewhere else, Zack will go after him. He is not used to this much attention at home. The cats all run from him.

What I bought with my birthday money.

While we were at Wal-Mart looking for a ball we found this swing. He loves it. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Zmolek.

Turns out that cousin Ray (Pat and Jessie's first) has the same swing and ball popper. During Chistmas, we also found out that they had the same winter hat.

Mommy I do not like this toy.

Our neighbors gave him the ball popper for his birthday. I don't think he likes it too much.

Having fun the rest of the day.

What a cool new toy. He likes to push them down when you push them up.

Eating birthday cake.

Not quite sure what to do.

Smashing it in my fingers.
Mom made me eat some of the cake and I did not want to. Mean mommy.
Josh did something funny to make me stop crying.

Playing with friends.

The kids enjoying playing with some of the toys mom sent us from California. The adults commented on how they remembered having some of them when they were little.

Mom can I have more chocolate?
Zack and Lily. Lily is 3 months older than Zack.

A party for the boys.

Decorations and the boys' birthday cakes. We had a party for both Matt and Zack on Matt's birthday.

Matt's cake. It is not as cool as Zack's, but hey. M&M's are good.

Our first hockey game.

We went to our first hockey game. We watched the Houston Aeros take on the Milwaukee Admirals. One of Matt's teacher friends knows some one with the Admirals so we got free seats. It was a lot of fun. The Aeros won 3-2 and there was a fight.

28 miles.

Matt woke up one Saturday morning at 3 am and decided that he was going to run his age. It was a nice cool morning, so he took off and ran 28 miles since that is how old he is now.

Look out the window.

Zack has found that the window in the front room is low enough for him to look out.

Look what daddy taught me.

Matt thought it would be fun to teach Zack how to climb the stairs. This is what happens when mommy works two days in a row. We will see if daddy is left in charge anymore.

Now, since he can crawl and get into everything, he is usually contained in the living room.

He is getting so big.

Yes, he can stand himself up.
Having fun in daddy's hammock.
Fun in a box.
Apparently Zack can fit a ping pong ball in his mouth.

What a small puppy.

Watch out puppy or you could get hurt!
He is so small.

A beautiful day at the museum.
